I modelled the mantis without wings because it was originally intended to be 
one of those orchid mantids...the pink ones that live in flowers. That is 
also why it has the wing-like things on the legs. However I went with green 
for the texturing so I don't know if there is a mantis that actually looks 
like this in the wild.

The eyes do need some work
